Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles (GAAP), Radware uses non-GAAP measures of net
income and earnings per share, which are adjustments from results based on
GAAP to exclude stock-based compensation expenses, in accordance with SFAS
123R, amortization and impairment of intangible assets and
acquisition-related expenses, non-recurring retention expenses, write-off of
deferred tax assets, one time inventory write-offs and unrealized losses in
severance pay funds. Radware’s management believes the non-GAAP financial
information provided in this release is useful to investors for the purpose
of understanding and assessing Radware’s ongoing operations. The presentation
of this non-GAAP financial information is not intended to be considered in
isolation or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with GAAP. A
reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures discussed in this press
release, to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, is included
with the financial information contained in this press release. Management
uses both GAAP and non-GAAP information in evaluating and operating business
internally and, as such, has determined that it is important to provide this
information to investors.

This press release may contain forward-looking statements that are
subject to risks and uncertainties. Factors that could cause actual results
to differ materially from these forward-looking statements include, but are
not limited to, general business conditions in the Application Switching and
Network Security industry, changes in demand for Application Switching and
Network Security products, the timing and amount or cancellation of orders
and other risks detailed from time to time in Radware’s filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission, including Radware’s Form 20-F.
